Any idea, rumors or expectations on when in the next version of Capture NX will be coming out? I'd like to see the next version streamlined for Win 7 and the under-utilized x64 bit OS. Am I asking for too much?

Why can't Lightroom and Caputure NX have a baby and give me the software I'm looking for? I know Lightroom is one of the best on the market but I'd love to have Nikon's proprietary Capture Point and In-camera settings available for .NEFs.

The "U" points were actually created by Nik software. There is a chance we could see something "similar" in future adobe products but don't hold your breathe. I'd expect NX3 to probably show up later this year or next.

There's a Nik Viveza pluging for lightroom that would give you the U points, anyway. I'd wait for Lightroom 3 at this point, though, if you're going that route. The beta expires April 30, and with LR2 I think the new version came out about a month before the beta expired.

Since this post is a yeasr old we can add an "or the year after that" to the last sentence.
